Subaru says they cant fit a turbo in the BRZ?

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/subaru...182551874.html

"Surprisingly, Hirakawa admitted that STI is developing a more powerful version of the BRZ, a slow-selling coupe that’s also sold as the Scion FR-S. While Subaru can’t equip the BRZ with a regular, exhaust-driven turbocharger due to space constraints, the automaker’s engineers are looking at fitting the four-cylinder engine with a state-of-the-art electric turbocharger that’s a lot more compact. The technology is under study, but it hasn’t been given the green light for production yet."

I find this hilarious...since so many folk have crammed superchargers, big turbos, little turbos with manageable heat build up.

What do you all think of electric turbo'd BRZs?
